    Noob question here but what does a broadband self install actually entail?

    Am I right in saying that you have to run a wire from where the phone line enters the house to my pc? :dunno:

    Just did that today - Ran the wire from the original/primary telephone socket up the stairs, into the attic and then down into my room - took about 3 hours to do. Hadn't a clue how to do it at first but tried this site:

    Thats all I needed for help. :)
